Adam Hannett’s rendition of Bruichladdich’s unpeated expression.

These tasting notes were first published in our sponsored story on Bruichladdich.

The unpeated Islay single malt that started it all returns for a second outing and progresses from the 46 per cent abv of 2011 to this year’s 50 per cent abv. This release features trickle-distilled spirited matured in first-fill bourbon – the distillery’s trademark – plus liquid rested in old sherry and French wine casks.

Mood Mischievous, coy, flirtatious, gregarious, eager, enthusiastic, tireless. There’s nowhere quite like Islay, it is a special place, and this whisky – so influenced by the place and its people – takes you right there. The Islay soul is in this spirit.
